If there’s any video ever that I care about picture quality, it would be this one. Might help to actually be able to see the suture on a suture instructional video.

The mind boggles.

Quality of this video sucks can’t see what the hands are doing

Can't see what you're doing... no contrast

[@LearningSurgicalTechnique]

You do not alternate the loops (right-left) at the beginning and do not change the direction of the threads. This causes the knot to slip.

[@mkmk00]

that's the point though...you want to create a slipknot to adjust tissue tension

Does it matter which you start with?
